Cascade is a clear, exterior water repellent finishing top coat of Sashco's Capture/Cascade staining system. Cascade helps reduce the unwanted discoloration of the coating caused by mildew and harmful UV rays, and reduces surface cracking of wood. With a modest sheen to the appearance of stained logs the Capture Log Stain makes any project come alive! It is water based, so it is easy to clean up, has no offensive solvent odors, and is non-flammable It can be applied repeatedly over time as a maintenance coat, extending the time before reapplication of pigmented coats. It dries crystal clear, so it won't alter the color of the pigmented base coat of Capture Log Stain.
